claim TO the property. The claimants
issue was found in favor of the plaintiff,
Cassidy, and the claimant, Mayers. ap-
pealed to the circuit court, and then
moved the court to quash the affidavit
and dismiss the cause because "the aft
davit was made before Justice of the
peace of Pike county, when the land on
which rent was claimed and the property
levied on was in the county of Frank
lin" The court sustained the motion
and dismissed the cause. The plaintiff
appealed.
ARNOLD, J., delivered the opinion of the

The Illinois Central Railroad Compa-
ny does not consider that the Interstate
Commerce law invalidates contracts with
publishers for certain advertising to be
furnished during the year 1887, the
compensation being an annual pass, and
it has notified all editors holding such
passes that it is prepared to fill its part
of the contract. This is undoubtly the
sensible and correct view to take of this
much mooted question. Whatever
doubt may exist as to the right to issue
passes on railroad extending through
two or more States, there can be none as
to points within the State where the
newspaper is published. The Mobile
and Ohio Railroad will issue editorial
passes between stations in Mississippi y

A Played-cut Argument.

The main arnument which the recre-
ants in the Missouri Legislature EN-.
ployed for refusing to put into opera-
ton the constitutional requirement for
supervisory corporations, was that il
would stop railroad building in the
State. We have heard that slogan else
where than in Missouri; but it is played
out. The st. Louis Republican. in ap.
plauding the decision of Gov. Marina.
duke to call the Legislature together to
pass a railroad law, cites the fact that
Illinois has had supervisory legislation
in force since 1871, and that railroad
building has trabled during the time.
Illinois furnishes but one Of many strik
ing illustrations.
